For everyone's sake please don't buy any more dvds!

I have to say this, too, from childhood to old age he always looked the same to me... You always knew it was Jackie Cooper!

I saw him speak at the Screen Actors Guild about two or three years ago. He was still on top of his game.

Just saw this ...
Hope there will be a nice tribute to him.

I'm wondering if anyone else had the same experience I did at the Festival.
It seems to me I kept seeing the same people at the screenings I attended. It was fun and a great way to make new friends through similar interests.
With all the people attending and all the different programs to see I found it curious.
I'd love to know if a study has ever been done on the brain wiring of filmgoers!
Anyone notice this with their choice of movies at the festival?

Speaking of the Animal Style burger...
I would suggest all next year's Festival goers to google In and Out's Secret Menu... It might be of interest to some.

Happy Birthday, Robert!
If you are 79, you're a VERY young 79. Your energy at the festival seemed boundless.

As I remember it David Stern said the camera negative for HOOP-LA was the only one from that era _not_ in the big FOX fire. And that the print we saw came from that source.
His talk before hand was quite informative and left me with a new found appreciation for Bow. Which her performance in the flim cemented.

As exhausted as I am from four days at the festival I can't imagine how Robert Osborne must feel.
I was really impressed with how gracious he was in taking time to meet and chat with so many people. So many of us and only one Robert Osborne.
As I entered Club TCM, for the closing night party, I found myself being moved into a line of people forming to meet Robert and have their picture taken with him. I figured he would have been long gone by then but, no, there he was, as generous as ever with his time.
That was a pleasant surprise and what perfect timing as I was very close to the front of the line. We spoke about some of my favorite events.
By the way my favorites -
NIGHT FLIGHT and post interview with Drew Barrymore
RO's interview with Peter O'Toole,
RO's chat with Angela Lansbury before GASLIGHT
the orchestra for THE MERRY WIDOW
WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND
The Tribute to THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS
HOOP-LA
WENT THE DAY WELL? My favorite experience of the whole festival. What an extraordinary screening that was. Never experienced a crowd reaction like that to a movie before. It was a rare treat. A very special memory.
I have to agree that the closing evening took on an even more exciting mood with the Bin Laden announcement. I was in the theatre waiting for THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN to start when a woman turned to say her husband just got a text from a friend about Bin Laden. I figured it was one of those, Where were you when you heard moments...
Surely an odd place to be for such an odd announcement but it was just another amazing highlight in a weekend of highlights.
I felt it was a perfectly run festival. I couldn't have been happier. Kudos all around!

I remember Tom Brown asking the crowd in the lobby if anyone was from West Virginia. As that was the only state that did not have a pass holder.

Great Photo! On line waiting to see GASLIGHT...
It was great to meet you guys and all the folks with whom I spent time talking about the movies we saw, the ones we had scheduled and the ones we hoped would show up next year.
It was truly a memorable time!

I've never seen so many happy faces in one place and that includes Disneyland!
Never met so many nice people!
Thanks all for making my first day at the Festival so memorable!

I'm cool with that. There's just so much going on I may not even notice those events!
See you soon.

Get to Hollywood? I live in LA!
I'm still not entirely sure what I'm entitled to take part in outside the films themselves. I haven't received any paper work as yet and I was told my material will be at will call.
I plan on going early anyway to see what's what and try to get the lay of the land.
I'm sure I'll be and at In and Out either way.

Just wanted to let you know that someone from the board was an actual 2nd Prize winner and will be attending as many screenings as they can!
Whoo-Hoo!!!

"FOX MOVIE CHANEL (sic) HAS TCM BEAT"
I'm compelled to respond to say there is no possible way FMC is better than TCM. I used to get the channel before it was a pay station on TW. I don't miss it. Never gave wanting to pay for it a second thought.
They don't have...
Robert Osborne
Great tributes to artists of the past and present.
Access to films from all studios
Introductions to their movies
Shorts
I got to see ...
Bowery Boys movies
The Whistler
Crime Doctor
I Love a Mystery
Richard Dix movies
Wheeler and Woolsey moives
Private Screenings... etc., etc,
on TCM. Never would have seen ANY of that on FMC.
In fact there's a FOX movie on TCM right now. When was the last RKO, MGM, WB, UNIVERSAL, PARAMOUNT film you saw FMC?
Sure if you watch TCM everyday, all day, as I do there are going to be days and days when you've seen it all but there is always something to look forward to.
And most importantly, they give great consideration to their viewers. Probably more so than any other channel I'm aware of. TCM creates a community atmosphere that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else.
Sorry to be so long winded but as an extremely long time viewer obviously I couldn't let that statement go by without a rebuttal.
Thanks for your time -

I am saddened to hear of Eddie's passing.
My sympathy to the whole family.
I've been there many times and everyone has always been quite friendly and helpful.
Sometimes the best part of going there is when someone has a movie question and everyone, including the customers, jump in to help. Or else running into a well known personality and talking movies with them.
There are three great video stores in the LA area that cater to movie lovers with an incredible list of hard to find movies but Eddie Brandt's is the one that has them all.
Eddie was always kind to me. He will be missed.

I know in advance I'll be told CITY LIGHTS is a silent film but generally speaking silents are often over-looked.
Surely there should be one or two more a season that are deemed essentials.

"The Color Purple"

I don't believe Rod Steiger's Private Screening interview has aired since it was first broadcast in 2000. Certainly not in the last 6 to 7 years.
It was VERY briefly on the April Schedule and now it's gone. Replaced by the Norman Jewison interview.
I know the podcast version was on the net a while back.
Anybody know what's up with the television rights to this particular Private Screening?
I was really looking forward to seeing it again.

_*Wheeler and Woolsey*_ should get a day. Especially if they could air SO THIS IS AFRICA.
*_Bing Crosby_* - How about some of those rare early Paramounts?
*_Aline MacMahon_*, a great actress showcased well in 1930's WB films.
_*George Arliss*_ - Has he ever had a day?
_*Guy Kibbee*_ - Featuring the Scattergood Baines Series from RKO
_*Hattie McDaniel*_ - Has she ever had a day? If not, it's long overdue!
_*Richard Barthelmess*_ Not sure if he ever had a day.

Gotta Love the EBT!
The first Harry Langdon short they aired was interrupted in the LA area by a child abduction message. I never saw that kind of warning before.
Hope the kid is alright! They don't come back and tell you.

As a film buff interested in variations I was happy to see the film as it was originally released.
I was curious to compare it to the later version.

Tonight 4/4, after STEPPING OUT, TCM aired the Jackie Cooper TCM Remembers for the first time.
It was extremely well done.
